A Love, Rare and Pure

A love that is rare and pure.

A love that is rare, 
a love that is pure
one that lasts forever, 
that will endure
Is a gift that you find 
when you make a diligent search
it transcends all value
is of priceless worth.
Diamonds and pearls 
and even corals too
are rare but can be found 
inside of you.

Loyalty and innocence 
a love that is
bright and pure
like a diamond or pearl
Is hard to find, you may
want to search the world
but the search needs to start
even closer to home, 
you need to start 
where your heart resides
when your alone.

Dig deep inside your soul,
go ahead lose control
take a deep breath 
and dive in deep
you will find a true love 
you will want to keep

When you find that one 
pure love rare and true 
deep inside of you
your one true love 
will arrive having done 
the same thing too

Where there is innocence, 
there is found love-
it's a gift we're given, 
by God above

Innocence attracts innocence,
trueness attracts what is true
when they find each other 
they know what to do.

got to the end of this one and found such depth in these final lines: Innocence attracts innocence, trueness attracts what is true when they find each other they know what to do. I am glad I was able to find an older one of yours today I had not yet read!
